 Paramount attempted to revive the series in 1963 after the television success of "Sing Along With Mitch" with the cartoon "Hobo's Holiday".The concept of the "Bouncing Ball" has become such an established cultural icon, that it has been used in television commercials to sell all sorts of products from sleeping tablets to cat food.Just before retiring in 1968, Dave Fleischer used a form of the "Bouncing Ball" for the ending of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" where he shot cutout animation to "bounce" the head of Beatrice Lillie over the lyrics to the title song.
